lmao did you actually watch the video? Its one and only complaint is that the shrine in the game gets damaged. Its intent is very, very obviously to cash in on the controversy to drum up some tourism attention.

The incredibly earnest weebs in the comments promising to defend the honour of the Japanese people by not buying a computer game are equal parts hilarious and pathetic.

It’s worth mentioning that the person in the YouTube video is a member of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party, which, as I understand it, is basically like what the Republican Party is in the U.S.

Just in case anyone was thinking that the man in the video is some kind of revered monk or historian – he might just be another politician that is eager to dive into any ragebait culture war issue.
